<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Cinead,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I did that, and after running that command, it came
back with an error like no tail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When I tried to run Chirp, it read something like
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>gtk error</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A few lines about gtk, but I could not copy
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My screenreader could not review it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For DJ's suggestion:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3 face=Arial>Does CHIRP run if you issue this command as
regular user in a terminal:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Seemed like it did, but it only read</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Chirp As Superuser</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>and it seemed like the window for chirp was there,
or an error window for chirp, but it did not function.</FONT></DIV>

<P> cd /var/log <BR></P>
<P> sudo tail -f messages<BR></P>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>then try to launch chirp. The error messages should

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I followed the below to the T, and now Chirp is
in accessories, using Ubuntu 20 something, but it does not
launch.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I enter on it but nothing happens, but the panels
of programs go away, like the enter on Chirp did something.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Any ideas?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Here's how to install
flatpak. $ just means your using the regular user terminal, </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">if you typed "sudo su" you'd
be at the root terminal which is #.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Download the latest CHIRP
flatpak from here:<BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-freetext

moz-do-not-send="true">https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/</A></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">As of this moment the
current version is <A class=moz-txt-link-freetext

of the work is from the terminal.<BR><BR>First, install Flatpak:<BR><BR>$ sudo
apt install flatpak<BR><BR>The other howtos seem to have missed this next
step. You need to use<BR>flatpak to install the “freedesktop” platform. First
update flatpak<BR>and your paths.<BR><BR>$ flatpak update -v<BR><BR>This will
give you a warning about paths, something like:<BR><BR>Note that the
directories<BR><BR>'/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share'<BR>'/home/[username]/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share'<BR><BR>are
not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment<BR>variable, so
applications installed by Flatpak may not appear on your<BR>desktop until the
session is restarted.<BR><BR>Since we now have to log out anyway, now might be
a good time to make<BR>sure you are in the dialout group.<BR><BR>Use the
groups command to list your active groups. If the group<BR>“dialout” does not
appear, add yourself to the group (replace<BR>[username] with your
username):<BR><BR>$ sudo usermod -aG dialout [username]<BR><BR>Now restart
your session (or computer) and return to the terminal.<BR><BR>~$ flatpak
update -v<BR>Looking for updates…<BR>Nothing to do.<BR><BR>Don’t worry about
installation directory warnings if you haven’t<BR>installed anything yet.
Those will be created later. Important is that<BR>we got rid of the path
warning. Moving on….<BR><BR>Now you need to get the Freedesktop repository
installed:<BR><BR>$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub<BR><A
class=moz-txt-link-freetext
href="https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo</A><BR><BR>and
then install the Freedesktop Platform:<BR><BR>$ flatpak install flathub
org.freedesktop.Platform//19.08<BR><BR>This might take a while its a big
(~0.5Gb) download. Grab some coffee<BR>and make some QSO’s….. Maybe check out
my club’s website:<BR><A class=moz-txt-link-freetext href="http://w6ek.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://w6ek.org</A><BR><BR>Finally we can install
Chirp! (replace .flatpack filename with your<BR>downloaded
version)<BR><BR>$ flatpak install
Downloads/chirp-daily-20220515.flatpak<BR><BR>You’re done! You can run chirp
from your applications menu or from the<BR>command like like this:<BR><BR>$
flatpak run com.danplanet.chirp<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">My distro has a defective
GIMP application so I used flatpak to install the app from there, the only
negative is that I cannot type "gmp" from a terminal and have gimp run, I have
to use teh menu entry.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Try it - it's excellent and
it's the future of applications in Linux.</DIV>
